MADISON - Wisconsin Assembly members will get more money for staying overnight in Madison.
In a unanimous vote Thursday the chamber's organizational committee, led by Republican Speaker Robin Vos, increased the overnight reimbursement rate to $138 per day for food, travel and lodging expenses. That's up from $88 per day. Lawmakers who live at least part-time in Madison but represent out-state districts will get half that.
Representatives taking day trips to the capitol will see a 22 percent drop in reimbursement. Those lawmakers will receive $69 a day, down from $84.
